Even when I was in foolishness, God never treated me like I was a fool. It was always, "Come, let us reason together." His reasoning ALWAYS won.
And that's what happens when we truly do sit down and read His Word and listen to it and actually hear it and pray over it. We see the error of our ways and we are ashamed and repent of them.
God's Words are convicting if we actually take them to heart. They are also always healing and restorative as well.
Praises to Him for His mercy and compassion for even considering reasoning with the likes of me and those like me!
ALL glory to Him!
